William Wyler's enduring epic adaptation of Ben-Hur is considered by many to be the definitive Biblical epic of the talking picture era and features a lead performance from Charlton Heston that is arguably definitive in its own right. The film is presented on this 50th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition Blu-ray with significantly upgraded image quality, all of the on-disc special features previously available on DVD, and a new feature length documentary offering a uniquely personal view of the productin of the film from the perspective of Charlton Heston and his family. The set also receives non-trivial physical extras, the most interesting of which is a replica of Heston's personal journal entries from the time of the film's production and release.
